In theory, what you're saying is true. The problem is, these are expensive cars, meaning they're all being bought by people with relatively deeper pockets. They just replace their relatively new cars with Teslas instead of prolonging the use of their existing ICE cars.
The result is more vehicle turnover for "green" reasons, but that is a lie. The use of vehicles for fewer and fewer months to move to an electric car is not helping the environment in any way.

I have not seen this mentioned before, but the Teslas people buy in the US isn't helping the environment. You just are saving on fuel!
What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?

I use most things here but I hated FlorisBoard so much. To each their own, but I’m sticking with Gboard.

Thanks for the chuckle, I totally did not look like an idiot in the Dentist's waiting room 😅

This is so simple and beautiful!

What Kbin communities do you subscribe to?
I mostly see Lemmy communities in my "All" page, but I am not sure if that is the case, how discovery across Kbin and Lemmy would work.

Banana Republic is a term coined for all the countries where this company operated.

Boost was incredible when I was on the previous platform!
I want to try that out. I did use Liftoff, Jerboa and Connect.
May be this will change when Boost comes on the Play Store, but for now, Jerboa has been my go-to.

Black-ish
For someone who is not Black, it brings a glimpse into Black culture that I simply did not have. Plus, Anthony Anderson is perfect casting for the role.

I am reading the first book of the series Empire of the Moghul right now.
Classified as historical fiction, it is very interesting to see how the kingdoms evolved and spread in Central Asia.

Damn, this is so cool!
I cannot wait to try this out.

You are welcome. Just remember that it haa 95% of the features as PocketCasts, but it is Open Source..

Haha, I know. Just was in a very difficult period a couple of years ago, where upgrading to a new phone was not even one of my top 10 priorities in my life then.

Understood, thanks. Will delete my post!

Pixel 7a
So, I will be getting a new Pixel 7a tomorrow most likely.
It is a one month old device apparently in Mint condition, with ~$100 cheaper price, should I go for it?
I currently use a Pixel 3 XL, which I bought on Day 1 so I am thinking it is time to upgrade. Anything I should know before I go through with it?

This is kinda odd timing.
I just started using AntennaPod on Monday since I want to switch to FOSS apps as much as possible and also deleted my PocketCasts account completely.
It sucks that there is no such account in my Google Podcasts app, but uninstalled that too. AntennaPod, FTW!

I use Niagara launcher. It is fantastic if you want to get to anything with just one hand, but it is unusable if you do use a lot of widgets. Have been using this for almost a year now, this is the way to go!

Bitwarden too, learned about it here on Lemmy!

Honestly, till date, the most amazing messaging app I have used. RIP!

I like the idea of using FOSS, thanks for the suggestion.

Somehow, I missed to do this earlier, but thank you!

Keyboard Options
So, I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to this, but can Google know what I'm typing or has any triggers if certain words are spelled out or my passwords are being typed out?
Basically, I'm trying to see if the Google Keyboard app needs to be replaced, since this is something I've been using for the past 9 years.

I am genuinely curious. What's the role of the new CEO if this turd keeps doing everything he can to burn this ish to the ground?

Usage of only Microsoft Authenticator?
So, I work a corporate job and I have to use MFA to login to my accounts. The problem is, I can't use any other app other than Microsoft Authenticator to use, I've tried using Aegis or Google Authenticator or a couple of other ones, all I see is can't use this app or something similar.
Any workaround to this?
I don't mind using Microsoft Authenticator, but having someone tell me I can only use that kinda irks me to an unbelievable extent.
Thanks!
